Moody’s Chastisement of Spurgeon over Cigars

D.L. Moody went to London to meet Spurgeon, whom he had admired from a distance. However, when Spurgeon answered the door with a cigar in his mouth, Moody was in shock. “How could you, a man of God, smoke that?” protested the great American evangelist.

Spurgeon took the stogie out of his mouth and walked down the steps to where Moody was still standing in bewilderment. Putting his finger on Moody’s rather rotund stomach, he smiled and said, “The same way you, a man of God, could be that fat!”

Reminds me of one of my favorite Luther quotes.

"Whoever drinks beer, he is quick to sleep; whoever sleeps long, does not sin; whoever does not sin, enters Heaven! Thus, let us drink beer!"
